Dr. Cerbone was interviewed by Laureano Ralon on December 5th, 2010 as part of the Figure/Ground Communication scholarly interview series: http://www.figureground.ca/interviews David Cerbone is a Professor of Philosophy at West Virginia University, where he specializes in 20th century continental philosophy. His ongoing research focuses primarily on the phenomenological tradition (with an emphasis on the work of Martin Heidegger and Edmund Husserl), Wittgenstein, and early analytic philosophy. His research in these two domains overlaps considerably: he looks to both areas for resources for understanding and criticizing traditional philosophical problems (e.g. problems oriented around skepticism, realism, and idealism), as well as currently dominant philosophical views, most notably naturalism in various forms (scientism, physicalism, materialism). His most recent work has primarily been concerned with the latter, with the often antagonistic relation between phenomenology and scientific naturalism. He is interested in documenting both the attractions and dissatisfactions of naturalistic accounts of human beings and the world, so as to ascertain more fully just what phenomenology has to contribute to our self-understanding. Professor Cerbone is the author of Understanding Phenomenology and Heidegger: a Guide for the Perplexed.
